The song was pulled from the original recording of the album, produced by the renowned Albini, but never released.  Side B will contain a special, previously unreleased on vinyl acoustic version of the track “A Prayer For Me In Silence." The original version of the song appears on the group’s critically acclaimed 2011 album SPEED OF DARKNESS. This special Drunken Lullabies 7" will be available at participating local independent record stores beginning April 21st. Here's a list of stores participating in Record Store Day.
